It seems like we have had birthday after birthday recently. Since Trav is the last of our plethora of birthdays we still needed to make it special. I tried to get him to eat the special birthday breakfast but he wanted a healthy one...more on that later. We made him a healthy breakfast and once again rolled out our red "you are special" plate. The best wedding gift ever - thank you Meacham family! We use that plate so much and it really does make us special to use it. Trav only wanted one thing for his birthday. He wanted to be a certain weight the morning of his special day. He was determined to break 240. He also bet a friend a LARGE sum of money if he didn't make the weight. When I found out I told him he couldn't come home from the gym until he made that goal. Even if it meant he spent his birthday in the gym. He was really good the weeks leading up to his birthday but then we had family dinner the day before his birthday. When he woke up on his birthday he was 245 and didn't know how he could lose 5.1 pounds in one day. He went and played 2 intense basketball games drinking no water during the games and came home to weigh in looking like he had just gone swimming in his clothes. When he got on the scale he was 239.7. Phew! We get to keep the money, Travis has a happy wife and gives himself a very good birthday present.
GOOD JOB TRAV!
